The Small Learning Communities Program (SLC) is a series of "school within a school" learning modules focused on academic and social achievement. We use service learning and service leadership as key features of engaging student learners in the design, development, implementation and evaluation of these modules. Students have the opportunity to apply for positions within the SLC program. Once they have submitted an application, they are interviewed, screened and placed according to their priorities, achievement data, demonstrated behaviors and personal input.

HEALTH AND WELLNESS

 

Medical Care

Students are provided proper medical and dental care through a partnership with Phoenix Children Hospital, ASU School of Nursing WOW  ( Wellness on Wheels), Wesley Community Center  and  Community Dental.  

Nutrition

We believe that a healthy lifestyle begins with a child making sound, nutritional choices. We  provide USDA balanced meals supported by nutritional lessons in the classroom.
                  

LIFESKILLS
               

Food Pantry

Families at CFA Phoenix are assisted with critical food needs by having  an opportunity to receive a monthly food box

             

Clothing Connection

Students earn the privilege to “shop” for their clothing and hygiene items. Students budget and plan for shopping expeditions to patronize local businesses. As donations arrive, students work to  sort, organize, clean, and hang clothes to prepare for fellow students
